In 2003, JJ Keki, a Ugandan farmer, walked door-to-door asking his
Muslim, Christian, and Jewish neighbors to put aside old
differences, confront their challenges together, and find a better
price for their coffee. His neighbors agreed, and together, they
formed the Peace Kawomera Cooperative. Theirs is the story of a
community who risked everything—their farms and their
livelihoods—to build a more prosperous future, and peace.

The 1,032 farmers of the Peace Kawomera Cooperative produce
beautiful Arabica coffee on the slopes of Mt. Elgon, in Eastern
Uganda. Rich volcanic soils, antique varietals, and the farmer’s
craft combine to produce a coffee that is rich and full-bodied,
with distinctive hints of vanilla and nutmeg, and a nutty
sweetness.

We donate 25 cents per package to the Peace Kawomera Cooperative to
support schools, business development, and quality improvement.
